Eberjey is truly an OG when it comes to cute intimates. Established 20 years ago, it was one of the first to address a real need in the market for pretty lingerie that felt fashionable but not too fancy, and the way the company’s boy shorts fit is the stuff of legend. To celebrate its anniversary, co-founders Ali Mejia and Mariela Rovito–who have since expanded into swim and sleepwear–dreamed up a charming palm tree print as an homage to their Miami roots, and splashed it across everything from bikinis to PJs (there’s even an adorable one-piece for girls).

I personally have the shorts set and, while it’s cliche to describe something soft as like buttah, let me tell you: like buttah. This also marks the first time I’ve ever slept in matching anything, which I have to say makes me feel one step closer living a fully Instagramable life (and as my favorite movie quote ever goes: “You got to coordinate!!!”).

Happy birthday, Jaime King! The Hart of Dixie star turns 38 today. With a successful modeling career under her belt and a long acting resume, the stunning star is focused on her latest role: mom.

King welcomed two-year-old James Knight back in 2013 with hubby Kyle Newman, and gave birth to Leo Thames in July 2015, but King isn’t the only one looking over her little one: Her BFF Taylor Swift is little Leo’s godmother.
From their first meeting back in 2014, this adorable duo has been ultra supportive. Between their awards show dates and their snuggle sessions with Leo, their every meeting is picture-perfect.

Viewing figures

So, to keep things simple, we’ll just stick to how many people watched each episode of this series live, on the night it was first broadcast.

An average of 2.8 million tuned in to the launch – a strong opening for the series, but a peak it didn’t manage to match throughout the rest of its run.

Ratings were reasonably stable for the following four episodes, but they dropped significantly for the final two.

Top Gear, series 24: Overnight ratings

Episode one (5 March)

2.8 million

Episode two (12 March)

2.7 million

Episode three (19 March)

2.4 million

Episode four (26 March)

2.3 million

Episode five (2 April)

2.6 million

Episode six (16 April – Easter Sunday)

1.6 million

Episode seven (23 April)

1.9 million

This could be down to the gap in the middle of the series – there was no episode on 9 April because of Golf: The Masters 2017. It seems many viewers didn’t return to Top Gear after that.

But what everybody really wants to know about the viewing figures, of course, is how they compare with previous series.

The last season, fronted by Chris Evans, opened with a bumper 4.4 million viewers, considerably more than this year’s series launch.

However, it’s worth noting the viewing figures for the Evans-fronted season had more than halved by the end, with 1.9 million tuning in to the finale.

No episode in the era fronted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May had fewer than 2 million viewers.

Indeed, an impressive 5.3 million watched the trio’s farewell in 2015 – a figure that none of the presenting line-ups have come close to since.

But programme bosses will likely be happy that five of this season’s seven episodes attracted more than 2 million viewers, giving this series a strong and relatively stable audience in comparison to last year.

Plus – once iPlayer figures are taken into account, the figures for the latest series will go up considerably. The first episode alone added nearly a million extra viewers to the live TV audience. Figures for the later episodes in the series will follow soon.

Critical reviews

Critics have responded positively to the revamped Top Gear – although some also had a few suggestions about how it could improve going forward.

Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Ed Power said: “Top Gear finished its latest season in better fettle than anyone could have predicted in the wake of last year’s disastrous Chris Evans-fronted reboot.

“Week by week the crew has visibly gained in confidence and the concluding instalment was arguably the most enjoyable yet.”

The Radio Times‘s Frances Taylor wrote: “It’s undeniable that the presenters’ dynamic has improved… but there’s something still jarring a little.

“The biggest problems have been ironed out this series, and what we’ve been left with is a largely enjoyable and watchable hour of Sunday night TV.

“It won’t take much to give it a tweak here and a buff there and with a little help, Top Gear could well be at the top of its game come series 25.”

Tom Eames from Digital Spy agreed the show still needs some work, but said it’s broadly going in the right direction.

“Rory Reid needs far more screen time, and they need to invest in more films that include all three of the main hosts,” he suggested.

“Plus – fewer obviously-scripted segments, more ad-libbed journeys, more interesting celebrities (or no celebrity segment at all) and you’ve got yourself a brilliant car show. It’s so very nearly there, and we’ll definitely be up for more in 2018.”

Fans’ reaction

Viewers were mostly positive about the latest series, although many said there was still room for further improvement.

Matthew tweeted: “If someone said to me 5 years ago that Matt LeBlanc would save Top Gear, I would have laughed and thought they were mental, but he has!”

“Brilliant series, well done guys! Restored as great entertainment and fun car show. A bit like the old days, only better,” added Brook.

Katherine said: “It’s a big improvement on the last series. Still wooden though.”

But Andy wrote: “I’d hardly say Top Gear has been saved. There has been a lot of viewers moved to The Grand Tour. It’s not Top Gear with out Clarkson, Hammond or May.”

So, has Matt LeBlanc really “saved” Top Gear?

The Telegraph’s Ed Power said the three presenters have “finally gelled”

Well, partly. He’s certainly a more popular front man than Chris Evans was on the last series.

But it would be unfair to give him all the credit for the warmer critical and viewer reaction this year.

Reid has been a crucial ingredient, with many fans agreeing he should be given more time on screen.

Harris is also a key factor, with Eames commenting that he “has clearly been eyed as the show’s lead when it comes to credibility”.

There’s also the total studio revamp the show has had – giving it a glossier, more colourful and polished feel.

Perhaps most importantly, however, the reason the show has had a much stronger series this year is it has not been put under so much scrutiny as before.

Tabloid interest in the Chris Evans series was high, and there were many negative headlines about the show’s various troubles and viewing figures.

But away from the glare of the media spotlight, it appears to be finally bedding in.

It has found its feet – and its audience. The show now has a core viewer base and appears to have finally won over critics and fans.

We’ll wait and see whether its upward streak can continue when the 25th series begins next spring.

Happy birthday, Gigi Hadid! The top model turns 22 years old today, and we’re celebrating in the same way that we bet she is: with the help of Zayn Malik. The high-power duo known as ZiGi first landed in our radar in 2015, but last year was when they really came into their own.

Between stylish street style outings, fashion week appearances, and cozy selfies in bed, these two jet-setters know how to make the most of their time together. The self-proclaimed homebodies might be happiest cooking dinner in their PJs, but that doesn’t mean their red carpet appearances aren’t fire. With just one look at the 2016 Met Gala red carpet (above), we rest our case.

If you travel and own a camera or smartphone, it’s safe to say you return home from vacation with hundreds of snapshots. Or thousands. Some destinations are just really, really ridiculously good-looking.

As for the fate of these travel photos? You’ll probably continue to Instagram them for the next couple of days while you can still get away with pretending your trip isn’t over. Maybe you’ll set aside a few for #tbt posts on particularly dreary future Thursdays. Maybe, if you have a penchant for evoking envy in friends and acquaintances, you’ll make a Facebook album, too.

But after that, all of those precious pixelated moments from family vacations, weekend getaways, and epic adventures will sit, forgotten, in a digital folder or on a hard drive. No longer.

When it comes to travel photo projects, the Internet is full of smart ideas — like paper lanterns or a photo-wrapped pencil set — and these kinds of things are lovely for when you’re feeling (very, very ambitiously) inspired. For the knowingly craft-challenged set, simple prints are the way to go.

There’s also a world of options dotting the middle of the creative enthusiasm spectrum, and you’ll find my favorites below. (P.S. a lot of them make great gift ideas for jetsetting friends and family.)

Dear brides-to-be, if you are planning to get hitched Cinderella-style then you’ll surely need a dress to match that vision.
